We were installing my oil tank and lines last night. Bob Russo took a break from working on the 962 to help us run the oil lines. He said your tank was impressive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)



That's a great compliment.. It helps to fund the fun projects like what I am working on and am blessed to be able to provide the tanks in a cost effective manor so that the dream of a porsche powered 914-6 can be realized.. Not that there is anything with other power plants .

Here are some other pictures of few projects as I was showing some students how to fabricate.. Probably the single best tool to teach on is a rusty car.. It gets students so excited to work with their hands and make something and be proud of it..

Been up to some more work.

I have the rear suspension done and powdercoated, Gt lid is done. I did that a bit different then others have done but I like the way it will finish off, front struts are done, I purchased front calipers from PMB (911 sc) , chassis reinforcement is almost all welded in.. I only work on it about 45 minutes a day to keep it exciting and fun.. Made 3 engine mounts copied from an original. Going to powder coat them to keep them from rusting. Then weld areas will be ground.. Making good progress.

Thanks I made 1 extra in case I need a pattern to make some for someone else.. I added some plug hole locations as well..

I need to send the original back with a reproduction for a special thanks to the lender.

Probably tackle the engine compartment next week. Too hot for rest of the week to weld and grind.

Thanks I appreciate the words of encouragement.

I installed my strut inserts in the 87 carrera strut housings today so that is done. The 6 engine mounts are all powdercoated and will pick up Monday and share pictures..

Picked up my other door I sand blasted and then I painted with epoxy primer and left at work to cure. Making good headway.

He'll hole done, just sprayed it with cold galvinizing to protect the bare metal. I have to check for pin holes and then decide if I am going to fab the engine shelf. I have been fabbing everything to this point but that piece looks pretty labor intense but not that I am being paid by the hour lolAttached Image

Great news and thank you for lending it to me.. Stupid me I had you original layed out on my firewall for height etc and I wirebrushed the marks off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) .

I should be able to figure out the height.. I am have been thinking though of making about 10 mounts to sell but I don't want to step on mad dogs toes

toes..others make mounts , others make tanks ,others do rust repair, others build engines , others make gas lines, others make the -6 rubber mount, others make replacement sheet metal, others rebuild calipers , others build wheels .....

reality is you will be an option for others who are shopping.. weld on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

The best part is I have a fixture to convert the 911 engine side mount into a 914-6 mount so could probably do the engine side conversion and the firewall side for about 275 powdercoated and it would look darn near factory.

The factory piece sits on the bottom pinch weld...comparing the one you made and sent me to the OG one your need to be 1.5mm above the pinch weld..
